Reading is Out of This World!

Please come join us at Eastvalley’s Fall Book Fair, which will be from Monday, October 24^th to Thursday, October 27th. The hours will be:  Monday through Thursday from 7:30 to 3:30 PM, and Tuesday night from 3:30 to 7:00 PM.  This is an awesome opportunity to purchase books for family, teachers and friends while supporting Eastvalley’s Media Center.

The Book Fairs are the Media Center’s biggest fundraisers.  Eastvalley historically receives an average of 45% return of the total sales.  The proceeds of the sale go to purchase new books, DVDs, Accelerated Reading tests, and items to improve the Media Center.  Your purchases make such a positive impact on the students and staff at Eastvalley! 

There will be a variety of books including new Scholastic releases, familiar favorites, collections, award-winning books, and many others.  If you or your child wishes to donate a book to a teacher, "Classroom Wish Lists" will be posted at the Book Fair. This is a wonderful way to let your child’s teacher know you support reading.

Please set aside a time to bring your child to the Book Fair.  Your child will be coming to the Media Center during school hours to preview our selections and to make a personal Wish List.  A nice opportunity to shop for gifts is before or after your conference time.  Our stock is constantly changing, so come in early for the best selections.

Thank you for encouraging your child to read!  We appreciate your support and we look forward to seeing you at the Book Fair.

 

New Arrivals

Eastvalley’s Media Center is very excited about the arrival of 520 new books worth over $9,000.00!  This purchase was funded by Cobb County School District.  There is a buzz in the air about reading and our students love checking out the new books! 

Three hundred fifty-four accompany Accelerated Reading tests were purchased to go along with our new book purchase.  The Accelerated Reading tests were paid for by the generous donation of Eastvalley’s PTA.  With the addition of these new AR tests, Eastvalley offers almost 9,000 Accelerated Reading tests for our students.

For the first quarter of the year, our students earned 8,071.1  Eastvalley Reading Club points toward our 30,000 point goal.   Fifth grade earned the most points with 2,373.6 points.  Earning just 10.6 points less was our fourth grade students.  Our Third Graders came in third place with 1,533.5 points.  Our students are off to a great start and we are very proud of their reading accomplishments!
